Ate some raw hamburger?!


Question: Ate some raw hamburger?
Your Open Question:

What happens if u eat some raw hamburger?

I have IBS so I didn't feel too good to begin with but I had to go out to eat because it was a birthday dinner that I had obligations to go to---it was a buffet and they had some meatballs(looked a litttle weird like maybe they had rice in them) I cut into the first one and it was bright red inside-my first thought was maybe it is suppose to be so I ate a few bites it didn't taste bad, then I cut into the next one and it was light brown so I ate all of it but my concern is that I ate some raw hamburger, and I cut that meatballs open and then used my fork to eat all my other food am I going to get sick I didn't eat much raw...and I know people eat raw hamburger and rare stuff but am I neccessarily going to get sick or food poisoning????

Answers:

Its weird becuase sometimes out of norwhere I have a craving for raw meat...it just seems so succulent and I wanna eat it SO bad, but I know I shouldnt. (Except once i TRIED it and I survived.)
Anyway, haha, no you will be fine. However, do not eat it all the time-becuase SOMTHING will go wrong. But if it was prepared by professionals you will be fine. Meat that is raw can contain some bacteria, but you will be fine.

me:)



Well it is acceptable...legal infact to serve raw beef in the US. Here in Canada it's a huge no no because it's the process that makes hamburger that makes people sick, not the meat itself, you can eat any beef raw just not once it has been ground or processed. SO...no no you will not neccessarily get sick, it's only a risk. Unfortunately with IBS you won't be able to clearly tell if it's the beef or you but if you end up getting violently sick that won't be you.



You only get sick from raw meat if something is wrong with it, like if it was sitting out too long or if it already had whatever bacteria you get from it was in it, lots of people eat raw beef, steak tartare, and I love really rare steak and hamburgers. If you aren't sick by now, you probably won't be.



Many people eat and restaurants serve Steak Tartar (Tartare) which is made with raw usually ground beef. I've never heard of anyone getting sick from it.



most likely youll be fine, my bf always eats raw hamburg, and his father used to all the time too. I prefer to cook my meat :D



I think you'll be okay.
